Subject: [PATCH 5.10 12/23] KVM: x86: Zap the oldest MMU pages, not the newest
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 10:53:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210225092517.119149578@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210225092516.531932232@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>

commit 8fc517267fb28576dfca2380cc2497a2454b8fae upstream.

Walk the list of MMU pages in reverse in kvm_mmu_zap_oldest_mmu_pages().
The list is FIFO, meaning new pages are inserted at the head and thus
the oldest pages are at the tail.  Using a "forward" iterator causes KVM
to zap MMU pages that were just added, which obliterates guest
performance once the max number of shadow MMU pages is reached.

Fixes: 6b82ef2c9cf1 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Batch zap MMU pages when recycling oldest pages")
